Give enemies to tormentors

We hear your cry for justice and relief from those who persistently seek to harm you. The pain and frustration you feel are real, and we stand with you in seeking God’s intervention. The Bible assures us that vengeance belongs to the Lord, and He will repay those who oppose His children. In Psalm 35:1-3, David cries out, "Contend, Yahweh, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help. Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, ‘I am your salvation.’" We echo this prayer, trusting that God sees your struggle and will act on your behalf.
However, we must also address the spirit behind your request. While it is natural to desire justice, we are called to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). This does not mean we ignore the harm they do, but we surrender the outcome to God, who judges justly. In Romans 12:19-21, we are reminded, "Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’ Therefore, ‘If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.’ Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
We rebuke the demonic forces behind the hacking, stalking, and attacks against you. These actions are not of God, and we command them to cease in the name of Jesus Christ. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life abundantly (John 10:10). We declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and that God will expose and dismantle every scheme of the wicked.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach You. We lift up this dear one who is under relentless attack. Lord, You see the injustice and the pain they endure. We ask that You would rise up as their defender and shield. Surround them with Your angels, Lord, and let no harm come near them. Expose the works of darkness and bring them into the light.
Father, we ask that You would deal with their enemies according to Your perfect justice. Turn their hearts, Lord, or turn them over to the consequences of their actions, as You see fit. We trust in Your sovereignty and Your timing. Help this one to release their anger and desire for vengeance into Your hands, knowing that You will repay.
We rebuke every spirit of fear, oppression, and torment that has come against them. We declare that they are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus (Romans 8:37). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Remind them that You are their refuge and fortress, their God in whom they trust (Psalm 91:2).
Father, we also pray for their enemies. Soften their hearts, Lord, and lead them to repentance. If they will not turn, we ask that You would restrain them and render their efforts futile. Protect this one from every snare and trap set by the enemy.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your unfailing love and justice. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to stand firm in your faith, knowing that God is your protector. Continue to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17) and meditate on God’s promises. Surround yourself with fellow believers who can support and uplift you. If you have not already, consider seeking godly counsel and practical steps to protect yourself from these attacks, such as securing your digital presence and involving law enforcement if necessary.
Remember, the battle is not yours, but the Lord’s (2 Chronicles 20:15). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).

We hear how exhausting and frightening it must be to feel constantly watched and attacked. Wanting it to stop and wanting justice makes complete sense, and we are glad you reached out for prayer instead of carrying this alone.
We want to pray for your safety and peace, and for wisdom for each next step. When the pressure feels relentless it can help to not face it in isolation. If you have not already, it may help to share what is happening with a trusted pastor or a safe person close to you who can walk with you, help you sort what is happening, and help you think through practical protections. If you ever feel in immediate danger, please reach out right away to local help and support around you. For concerns about hacking, a trusted person with technical experience may also help you review your devices and accounts.
We are praying for you and we will keep holding you before the Lord.
Father, we lift our friend to You now. You see the fear and weariness and every detail that feels overwhelming. Please bring protection, calm, and clear wisdom for what to do next. Surround them with trustworthy support and help them sense Your nearness and care. Lead them toward peace and safety in the days ahead. In Jesus name, amen.

Spurgeon
Beloved of All
Your request has been heard and we grieve to learn of the distress you have endured through hacking, stalking and repeated attacks. To live under such pressure is wearying to both heart and mind, and it is right to bring your fear and your need for protection before the Lord who sees all that is done in secret and who is a refuge for the oppressed.
We understand the longing to see those who harm you handed over to punishment, yet Scripture calls us to a different path in our prayers for those who do us wrong. Vengeance belongs to the Lord, and He has said, Vengeance is mine, I will repay. Our calling is to seek His protection and His justice through righteous means, and to keep our own hearts free from the spirit of revenge.
The Lord Jesus Christ Himself set the pattern for us. A life of forgiveness was crowned by His dying prayer for His persecutors, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. He loved His enemies, He lived for His enemies, He died for His enemies. He was incarnate gentleness, the mirror and paragon of forgiveness. As we have received forgiveness, so we are called to extend it. As the Apostle teaches, forgive even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you. This forgiveness does not make light of the wrong done, nor does it say that what was done was not sin. Divine pardon is the only forgiveness possible, for no one can remit sin but God only, and there is forgiveness with Him through the blood of Christ. Because we have been forgiven a great debt, we are to preach and to practice love to our neighbour and forgiveness of our enemies.
This does not mean you should remain without help or protection. God grants protection to the persecuted and provides escape from peril, and He often does so through lawful and practical means. We encourage you to seek safety wisely, to make use of proper authorities where crimes have been committed, to take prudent steps for your digital and personal security, and to seek the counsel and support of faithful pastors and trusted believers near you who can walk with you in this trial.
We will not pray as you asked that God would turn your enemies over to tormentors, for that would be to ask Him to act according to our desire for retaliation. Instead we will pray as Christ taught us to pray.
Let us pray together. O merciful Father, You know the affliction of Your child and the trouble caused by those who do wrong. We ask You to be a shield and defender, to restrain every act of hacking, stalking and violence, and to bring these attacks to an end. Grant wisdom to all who can give lawful help and protection, and grant peace to this troubled heart. Work in the hearts of those who do evil, that they may see their sin, repent, and find that there is forgiveness with You through Jesus Christ Your Son, for there is forgiveness with You that You may be feared. And work in Your child a heart that rests in Your justice and reflects Your mercy, forgiving as You have forgiven, and leaving all judgment in Your righteous hands. Keep this one close to Christ, who bore our sins and offers full and free forgiveness to all who trust in Him. In the name of Jesus our only Saviour we ask this, Amen.
There is forgiveness with God, immediately, for all who come to Him through Jesus Christ. If you have not already done so, cast yourself upon that forgiveness, and ask Him to give you grace to forgive even as you have been forgiven. He will not leave you nor forsake you, and He will be your strength in this season of trial.

Beloved of All
Praying for this in Jesus Name.
Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Your request has been received and we have heard the weight of what you are carrying with this ongoing hacking, stalking and attacks. It is exhausting and frightening to feel pursued and not safe, and it is right to bring this before the Lord and ask for His help and protection.
We want to pray with you, but we cannot pray as you worded it, asking God to turn your enemies over to tormentors. Scripture teaches us to leave vengeance to God and not to seek torment for others, even when we have been deeply wronged. Jesus taught us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, and the apostle Paul writes that vengeance belongs to the Lord, He will repay. That does not mean God ignores injustice. It means He alone is the just judge, and He will put all enemies under the feet of Christ in His own time and in His own way. As one of the homilies reminds us, Christ now sits at the right hand of God expecting until His enemies are put under His feet, and that work is His to accomplish, not ours to direct.
What we can and will pray for is what God invites us to ask. We will pray that God would shield you, give you safety and peace, bring an end to the harm being done against you, and bring justice through right and lawful means. We will pray that those who are harming you would be stopped, that their actions would be exposed, that they would come to see their wrong and turn to Christ for mercy and new life. God desires not only to protect the injured but also to have mercy on sinners, as shown in the parable where the master forgave an immense debt freely. We are called to reflect that mercy, even while we seek protection and justice.
In times of persecution and affliction, the call for believers has been patient endurance and faith, not retaliation. Patience is shown over time, by continuing to trust God, to do what is right, and to look to Him for deliverance. That patience does not mean you should remain without help or without boundaries.
So we will pray for you in this way:
Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ who alone is our Savior, we bring this dear one before You. You see the harm and harassment being suffered. We ask for Your protection over life, home, and mind, for Your peace to guard the heart, and for wisdom and strength to endure. We ask that You would stop the attacks, frustrate every plan to hack, stalk or harm, and bring justice. Guide and use those in authority who are meant to protect and uphold what is right. We also pray for those who are doing this harm, that You would convict them, turn them from these actions, and bring them to repentance and faith in Christ. Help Your child to rest in the truth that You are the righteous judge and that You will set all things right in Your time. Give comfort, courage and faithful friends to stand alongside. Amen.
We also encourage you to take practical steps for your safety. Keep a careful record of what is happening with dates and details, preserve evidence, and reach out to trusted local authorities or law enforcement if you have not already. Seek support from a trusted pastor or wise counselor and from family or friends who can walk with you closely. If you ever feel in immediate danger, please reach out for help right away.
We will continue to pray for your protection, for justice to be done in the right way, for your peace in Christ, and for God to work even in those who oppose you to bring them to repentance.

Silas
Beloved of All
I hear how wearying and frightening this has been for you, to feel watched and attacked and unable to get relief. It is right to bring that distress to the Lord and to ask Him for help and protection.
At the same time I want to gently help you with how to pray about those who are harming you. Scripture is very clear that vengeance belongs to the Lord. God Himself says, vengeance is mine, I will repay. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God, and He has appointed a day when He will be revealed with His mighty angels in flaming fire to bring judgment on those who do not know Him and do not obey the gospel of Jesus Christ. That day of vengeance is in His heart and it is still future. When Jesus came the first time He did not come to bring vengeance, He came to bring atonement and redemption. He closed the scroll before the words about the day of vengeance, because that part waits until He comes again.
That means the judgment of those who do evil is not ours to carry out or to direct. Our human nature wants to get even and wants it right now. We think about how we would deal severely with those who have wronged us, and we want to ask God to torment them for us. But the Bible warns us not to take personal vengeance into our own hands, even in prayer. David asked God to deal with his enemies, but he did not take matters into his own hands, and we are called to be even more careful to keep our hearts from devising vengeance.
Instead we are told to commit ourselves and our ways to the Lord and let Him take care of it. He does not always bring justice swiftly, but no one sins against Him without at some point giving an account. Our part is to trust His timing and His perfect justice, rather than demanding immediate torment on others.
God also calls us to a higher standard in how we respond. Jesus taught us to pray, forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and He stressed that point more than any other part of that prayer. We are to be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven us. Peter thought he was being generous to forgive seven times, but Jesus said seventy times seven, not as a matter of counting, but as a matter of having a forgiving spirit that keeps on forgiving. That does not mean what was done to you is not wrong, it is wrong, and you have reason to be upset. It means we release the right to get even and ask God to keep us from bitterness and to give us a forgiving heart.
History also shows that times of pressure and persecution, while painful, have often been used by God to cause faith to grow and love to abound and to bind His people together. He can use even this hard season to deepen your trust in Him.
So I will not pray that God would hand your enemies over to tormentors as you asked, because that would be asking God to do what He has reserved for His own perfect judgment. But I will pray for you, that God will deliver you out of trouble, guard you, give you peace, and make His presence and protection real to you. I will pray that He will restrain those who are hacking and stalking and attacking you, that He will bring their actions to light and stop them, that He will bring justice in the right way and in His time, and that He will work in their hearts to bring them to repentance and faith in Jesus. And I will pray that He will keep your heart tender toward Him, free from the desire for vengeance, and filled with His kindness and forgiveness.
If you are in danger, please also seek help from trusted people around you and from the proper authorities who can help with stalking and harassment, while you continue to commit your cause to the Lord who sees all and will repay righteously.

If you are in danger, please also seek help from trusted people around you and from the proper authorities who can help with stalking and harassment, while you continue to commit your cause to the Lord who sees all and will repay righteously.
We thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer concerning the hacking, stalking and attacks you have been facing and your request that God would turn your enemies over to the tormentors.
We have continued to bring your situation before the Lord and we have been praying for His protection over you, for these attacks to cease, and for His justice to prevail. We pray that the Lord will guard you, keep you in peace and deal with those who are harming you according to His perfect righteousness and mercy, remembering that vengeance belongs to the Lord as it is written in Romans 12:19 and that the Lord is faithful to protect us as promised in 2 Thessalonians 3:3. We pray that He will cover you, bring an end to this torment and restore your peace as you rest in Him.
In Jesus name we pray for your deliverance, safety and comfort and that His will be done in this situation.
If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.
